Nithya Grantham

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

I need your help in acquiring one of the Sri Sookthis of

AchArya RaamAnujA revered as the Nithya Grantham .

I will explain the reason for the request below .

 

In this contxt ,I am delightd to let you all know

that H.H , the Current Jeeyar of Ahobila Matam ,

Sri NarAyaNa YathIndhra MahA Desikan has

spent 45 minutes of his most precious

time to review the demo CD ROM on AchArya RaamAnujA

at Bangalore and has given his blessings for

this project to go ahead . We are trying to

bring out a completed version by the end of

this February with Sri Malolan's and AchAryAL's

blessings .We are right now in the middle of

working out an arrangement for releasing the CD ROM

under a significant sponsorship to reach out to

a large number of Sri VaishNavite Families here

and abroad .

 

It is in this context , I shall be grateful for

anyone from here or from those travelling to India

to help me acquire this important grantham

( Nithya Grantham ) of AchArya RaamAnujA.

By the way , the AarAdhanam section in

the CD ROM under preparation follows

the Kramam established by AchArya RaamAnujA's

Nithya grantham , which forms the basis for

all the others that evolved . BTW , Some one ,

who is right now in India is helping me acquire

Srutha PrakAsikA of Sri Sudarsana Bhattar ,

the commentary along the KaalakshEpam lines of

the revered NadathUr AmmAL of Kanchipuram .It

is too late to ask this gentleman to bring

the Nithya Grantham as well .

 

 

As we demo the early version of the CD ROM on

AchArya RaamAnujA around the country thru

NAMA Chapters and other Sri Vaishanava gatherings

and wait for completion of the funding arrangements

to conclude our efforts prior to release before

the end of February ,we have learned that a companion

pamphlet/brochure in English with Sanskrit text ,

wherever appropraite would be most welcome to help

perform AarAdhanam by those , who can and who do not

have the information laid out in the time-honored

manner as revealed by the AchAryAs at the time of SamAsrayaNam .

 

I will be happy to put it together with the help

of few others from here and India so that it would

be a reference document for those , who want to get

started . In his recent address , H.H. the Andavan

of Poundarikapuram Asramam stressed on the importance

of AarAdhanam ( Bahya or MaanasIka ) in our lives

and the opportunity for the joint participation by

the Dampathis at the different stages of the ArAdhanam .

 

One of the central section of the CD ROM is the ArAdhanam

for Sriman NaarAyaNA by those , who have had samAsrayaNam

as a part of the daily requirement . The other sections deal

with Acharya RaamAnuja Charitham , Nine Sri Sookthis

with ample annotations on the side , beautiful images of

the ThirunEnis of the AchAryA at SriperumpUdhUr ,

Melkote , the Vimanams at Srirangam , the ArchA

mUrthys of the Divya dampathis of the Ksjethrams

who played a key role in the AchAryA's blessed life

of 120 years on this earth. We will try to have

the Gadhya Trayam recitations in the CD ROM .

All in all , it would be a pioneering and important

CD ROM which is taking shape with the SaraNya Dampathi's

blessings .

 

I will make available a copy of the CD ROM

to Srimathi Nagu Satyan , the Natioanl Coordinator

of the NAMA CHapters .Please borrow from her

that copy to demo to your local chapters and

return it back to her until the final version

is ready for release soon .Thanks , Srimathi Nagu

Satyan , for your help in the preliminary reach out .

 

I will keep you posted on the additional

developments as we make progress towads

the finish line .
